Meyghanne is in Origin.
Meyghanne is a rare, contemporary elaboration of Meghan/Meaghan, themselves variants of Welsh Megan, a pet form of Margaret. Ultimately from Greek Margarites “pearl,” the name carries the meaning “pearl” and connotes brightness and value. The unconventional ygh cluster and final -ne create a distinctive, ornamental look while preserving the usual pronunciations - typically MEG-ən or MAY-gən.
Megan has appeared in Wales since the Middle Ages and spread widely across the English-speaking world in the 20th century; the spellings Meghan and Meaghan, influenced by Irish orthography, surged from the late 1970s through the 1990s and saw renewed attention in the 2010s. Meyghanne, however, remains exceedingly uncommon and reads as a personalized modern choice. Close variants include Megan, Meghan, Meaghan, Meagan, Meganne, Meggan, Maegan, and the French-leaning Mégane. Diminutives and short forms include Meg, Meggie, and Megs.
Meyghanne does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
